What do you think of the trash boards?
Looks nice land . Would that not plough and combi behind , let rain pass and let it drape and then attack it

We had 5” in 3 days 6weeks ago and up until Monday everything was hard and dry here, so a wet week is welcome, get caught up with little jobs and the crops already sown will enjoy a good drink, so no need to worry atm

Hassle free compared to skims. Just taken the whole skim assembly off as it's very wet and grassy in places so relying on the boards now. There's going yo be some rape stubble poking out but it's only cosmetic really.

Yeah, I think I will stop now and then perhaps plough/combi when we are due a few dry days. This place is called Hollowmarsh for a reason!
Got all sorts here including some thinner stuff, heavy snot and a few stones chucked on for good measure!

Our land will be as dry but it wouldn’t plough up like that...we are very heavy land

When I go downhill I can get it to level up. Vroom.
Wheat did less than 2t spot yield this year on top end of field.
Swap you an inch of sand for an inch of clay on 10 acres. I can load you at this end.

Doors closed for me this week, lots of folks saying sorry, but the lime won’t get done now.
I emptied my rain gauge of leaves and dead flies on Saturday evening and it’s now got 2+3/4 inches in it.
Lime tipped on four farms, Fibrophos on two, none of whom want to see me this spreading this week.
Shocking season of showers and high winds, this is the last thing I needed. No joke, it’s as bad as 2012 for me.

Think we've been unlucky this year ..... again , not strung 4 dry days together since May

My mate at Upper Tean, not far from you, says it’s hellish wet there.
plenty of worse things that could be happening,
for instance, imagine if you were a daddy long legs this time of year.....

Finished and moved to some heavier stuff at the other farm. Still ploughing up bloody lovely.

I have spring barley seed.
I have kerb to use up.
I'd rather fallow it than buy new spring bean seed.

My unmoved stubbles have puddles on them now, and another dollop to go. Those that had the terrano through them will go with patience sometime before Christmas. If we can't get two or three days drilling in between now and then, then the whole of clayland Lincolnshire will be in trouble.

Have a load of Fibrophos sat in the yard here. Tipped last week when it was all nice and dry. Not sure when it will be spread now though. Some was going on some W. Barley land but if that gets drilled first it will have to go elsewhere.
